GNB sounds REALLY BAD now...

[Fawkes]

The old sounds seemed more varied to me.

Aww you don't like the nerf gun sound ? hey that's what happens when you complain, you get it worse.

I'd like to know what you were trying to accomplish with this post, to be honest.

I think it sounds terrible now, I loved the clean slicing sound it used to make. Now for some reason my blade sounds dull.

I agree with this, the new sounds are very dull-sounding, they sound as if you're just using explosions instead of the blade and explosions.

I like some of the new sounds but vastly prefer the old slicing sound on our bread and butter combo. New one sounds just ...boring.

Gunbreaker just sounds dull now, literally. They should really change the job classes name to "Clubreaker" instead of Gunbreaker considering its sounds like I beating something with a club and failing at it terribly.

Who even asked for this change? The previous sound effects were perfect!

I skimmed through a couple thread asking for more "impactful explosion", "impactful hit" changes a week or two ago but i don't know why they went and change the slicing one too.

Sounds like a misunderstanding to me. Whoever were the ones whom asked for the change needed to really point out what specific part of Gunbreaker's sound effects they wanted changed.

An easy mistake to make since their requested from their own perspectives sounded right but the developers did know heads from tails so they chose what they thought they wanted...

Sighs...hopefully there will be another patch fix soon to fox up this minor mistake. :/

I hate the "improved" sounds. It feels like I'm swinging a bat not a gun. Why they changed them, I'll never know. Did people in Japan really dislike the slice sound because I've seen almost no complaints whatsoever here or on reddit.

Regardless, please change them back.

I've read on the JP forum and there were no indication that anyone massively disliked the previous sounding of the gunblade. But there were more discussions after the 5.01 changes now. Most of their discussion currently are the same here. You can view them under the TANK thread.

This entire thread reminds me of when Monster Hunter: World was released. People hated the crisp realism of the 14 weapons, but eventually the "outrage" died down and now people don't mind the sound effects. This, too, shall pass.

I, personally, don't mind the more impactful explosions at all or the updated sound effects of the regular swings. I don't care about the normal combo, I'm looking to get to the shots of dopamine that come with Gnashing Fang + Continuation.

I must have my sound settings in a different configuration because I rarely hear my character make noise let alone actual weapon attack sounds.
